Maida Vale's mansion blocks require fire risk appraisals of external walls where combustible materials may be present in facades or refurbishment works. Our chartered surveyors deliver proportionate PAS 9980 assessments for these traditional buildings.
We assess mansion blocks and residential buildings throughout W9, providing clear fire risk ratings and proportionate remediation recommendations where required.
Proportionate fire risk appraisals of mansion block external wall systems following PAS 9980 methodology.
Assessment of red-brick and rendered facades for combustible elements, particularly in buildings with external refurbishment history.
Where risks are identified, development of remediation strategies that are proportionate and sympathetic to the building's character.
Support with Building Safety Fund applications and other remediation funding schemes for qualifying buildings.
Mansion blocks over 11 metres should have fire risk appraisals of external walls under PAS 9980, particularly where external insulation or over-cladding has been added.
Traditional red-brick facades present low fire risk. However, any external refurbishment, over-cladding or insulation additions should be assessed for combustible content.
A typical mansion block assessment takes 3-4 weeks from instruction to report, including desktop review and site inspection.
We provide proportionate remediation recommendations. Not all combustible materials require removal, and PAS 9980 takes a risk-based approach to determine appropriate action.
